6.3. PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY - JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH & APRIL 2024

In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to applications MCU21/0228.01 & OPW21/0364.014 (Combined with MCU21/0228.01) by Altum Property Group which are Items 7 & 22 in the Delegated Authority report. Leigh McCready who is associated with the applicant to the best of my knowledge, was involved in a volunteer capacity for my 2020 election campaign with Future Noosa, which is no longer an entity. As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Finzel left the meeting.

In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting that I have a declared conflict of interest in relation to the application OPW21/0353.02 by MC Bain which is Item 13 in the Delegated Authority report, due to my personal relationship with the applicant Mark Bain and the Bain Family who are family friends. We have attended social events together, and our children have attended school together. As a result of my conflict of interest I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
Cr Lorentson left the meeting.

Cr Stockwell informed the meeting that he had previously declared conflicts of interest in relation to applications made by Altum Property Group in the Planning Applications by Delegated Authority Reports. 
Cr Stockwell advised: During the last term I, Cr Stockwell, declared a conflict relating to Leigh McCready and the Altum property group relating to events in the lead up to the 2020 election. As this issue was prior to the relevant term, and as I am advised Leigh McCready no longer has an interest in the company it is not my intent to continue to make this declaration.
